[sammys70]

Dizzy Hogan=Brutus"the barber"Beefcake

[blimpthepimp]

RIP SIR OLIVER HUMPERDINK. THE BIG KAHUNA WAS A CLASSIC.

[sammys70]

This is about the same time i started watching wrestling that came on late on friday and saturday nights.This was so much better than wrestling is today.

[linkmand]

I think that this was,or maybe taped at WRAL in Raleigh, but aired on WPCQ. reason is, thats Bob Caudle. he was a WRAL news guy. really kewl dude.

[fjccommish]

Dr. Zaius pushed gang onto boogie woogie.

[paul3fun]

LOL!!! i remember when they shaved Valiant's head at the GREAT AMERICAN BASH...man he twitched for damn near twenty minutes...LOL!!

[stone85]

the one man gang is a shaved mr clean heavily headed tattooed prison guard today

[pajmf]

Now I know why the One Man Gang works as a prison guard today. He obviously blew all his money on fancy ring attire :)

[OaktownABQ]

Ah Jimmy Valiant -- king of the over sell...LOL

[DrAKOBADAGETH]

akeem the african dream!

[daillmeskin]

That's what I miss about the old school....THE TWITCHERS!!!! Nobody twitches today!!! Can you imagine if Jimmy Valiant got put through a table today? The convulsions would be off the chart!!!! LOL!!!

[bluegrassman776]

as much as i love old jimmy valiant i really don't really think he was stong enough to bodyslam the gang. thats why they make the storyline go that way.

[g81mjk]

now that is how you sell ! ! !

[lawlersarmy]

Hogan and Beefcake came through Memphis early in their careers as the Boulder Brothers - Terry and Eddie Boulder. Probably around '79 or '80. Beefcake had the same long blond hair look then as he did here.

[likintrubb]

Those convulsions Jimmy Valliant did were freaky.

[OrigLanceR]

when it came time to sell a convulsion, nobody could do it better than The Boogie Woogie Man lol

[drewal99]

I thought Dizzy Hogan became Hulk Hogan.

[phi1166]

Valiant had the worst entrance music ever!!

[banner74]

For those that don't recognize him,Dizzy Hogan would later become Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake.

[nwajoe]

Yep, Jimmy Valiant's selling is a sight to behold.

[CadillacL]

Vince thank-you for killing good pro-wrestling like this. Actually, we should blame the brisco's considering they sold

to him.

[pattersongrove]

Really you can blame Jim Crockett he just didn,t give a shit about his product and you can throw Dusty in the mix too.

[pattersongrove]

Example when Vince started showing wwf on tv in the mid atlantic area if there was a ballgame on in his time slot he paid for his for his entire shows to be shown if crockette,s were interupted they would only show half of his shows or none at all because crockett didn,t pay for anymore than he had to and that,s sad because i always looked foward co crockett,s shows

[SEMst500Blk]

At least vince dressed his wrestlers better than a t-shirt with their name on it.

But I do miss the action of the territories.

[pattersongrove]

Sorry for the typo i ment to say to.

[pattersongrove]

this is the year i started watching wrestling real heavy 1983 i wish someone would poast the beginnigg of the charlie brown gimmick from that year

[mooky9669]

I heard Ed Leslie was known at one time as "Dizzy" Hogan. Nice mustache..haha

[Budsmoker72]

thats rock n roller Buck Zumhoff

[driflyer13]

Nope, that's Brutus Beefcake

[ThundaLippz]

funny old stuff.WWF did this wit Big John Stud. sad tho how WWF/E made one man gang a black years later. WWE has killed wrestling.

[ECOOL76]

Its the early 80s dude.Everybody looked like that back then.

[shawnpatrick911]

Not only his t-shirt but his sweats look like they were bought from the Dollar Store. Low budget wrestling at it's finest.

[thenoblegeek]

I always love it when Jimmy Valiant suffers a beatdown; his body twitching is terrific.

[Dfuq1]

where is Humperdink's accent?

[salanh]

Brutus Beefcake with a cameo. You know, when I have a bad day at work I should run up to my boss and yell "I gotta have my music!!!"
